amnesic

For example, in a case in Arizona, amnesia was confused with everyday forgetting: ‘everyone is amnesic to some degree’.

These same studies also show that temporal lobe amnesics have poor memory for the original word list when this memory is tested by an explicit test procedure.

These findings are consistent with studies demonstrating that amnesic patients can acquire cognitive skills normally despite having no explicit recollection of the information learned over the training sessions.
